UAAP: National U, La Salle clash for top spot
The La Salle Green Archers are set to face the National University (NU) Bulldogs in a crucial UAAP Season 88 men's basketball game, aiming to tie the Bulldogs for the top spot in the standings.
NU leads the standings at 7-2, with La Salle and UP tied for second place at 6-3, making this game significant for securing a Top 2 finish and a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four.
La Salle is currently on a four-game winning streak, despite missing key players Mason Amos and Kean Baclaan due to MCL injuries.
The absence of Amos, who was injured in the first round against NU, has tested La Salle's resilience.
NU coach Jeff Napa warns his team to be prepared for La Salle, noting that the Archers have significantly improved since their first-round matchup, which NU won 82-78.
La Salle coach Topex Robinson respects NU's depth, discipline, and veteran players, acknowledging them as the No. 1 team for a reason.
